man i hate long math questions....?

Question

At Alice's restaurant, the waiters are paid twice as much per hour as the busboys, and the busboys are paid twice as much per hour as the dishwasers. If there are 8 waiters, 4 busboys, and 3 dishwasers at the restaurant, and the dishwasers are paid x dollars per hour, which of the following algebraic funtions can be used to calculate the total payroll for the resturant?
a. 12x
b. 15x
c. 22x
d. 28x
e. 43x

Answer 1

e. 43x

if dishwasher pay = x
then busboy pay = 2x
then waiter pay = 4x

3 dishwashers = 3(x) = 3x
4 busboys = 4(2x) = 8x
8 waithers = 8(4x) = 32x

3x + 8x + 32x = 43x

Answer 2

The dishwashers are paid x dollars per hour.

Since the busboys make twice as much as the dishwashers, they make 2x dollars per hour.

Since the waiters make twice as much as the busboys, they make 4x dollars per hour.

There are 8 waiters, 4 busboys, and 3 dishwashers. They make 4x, 2x, and x dollars per hour (respectively).

So, adding this all up, the total payroll is

8 (4x) + 4 (2x) + 3(x) = 32x + 8x + 3x = 43x.

So the answer is (E).

(As a side note, this seems like a rather extreme difference in pay to occur in a small restaurant. Assuming the dishwashers make minimum wage and the restaurant is in the U.S., this means that the waiters must make at least $22 an hour or so. I want to be a waiter at Alice's restaurant. :) )

Answer 3

43x because if you paid the dishwashers 1 dollar that would be 3 dollars, and if you paid the busboys 2 dollars it would be 11 dollars total then you would pay waiters 4 dollars adding up to 43 dollars total. then you can put 2 in for x and check it that way... sry if that didnt make any sense.

Answer 4

3 Dishwashers $x
4 Busboys $2x
8 Waiters $4x
Total = 3x + 8x + 32x = 43x
Answer e

Answer 5

dishwashers are paid X per hour.busboys twice them = 2X. waiters twice the busboys = 2(2X) = 4X
8 waiters = 8(4X) = 32X
4 busboys = 4(2X) = 8X
3 dishwashers = 3(x) = 3X
--------------
43X

Your being subjective , in concerning your lack of math potential on your gender. those stereotypes, are what has saved women from math and technology, no longer lack of ability. a even as in the past, there have been lady mathematicians, i'm speaking 1000's of years in the past. Then got here alongside pop psychology, which began those ridiculous gender wars. those books and magazines with all those defective articles. it really is likewise known in Western subculture , and why we see in hassle-free words a small form of ladies in STEM. i in my opinion loathed humanities and having to write down essays. My worst grades were in that area. My brother is nice with humanities and superb buddy a woman is taking utilized Math in graduate college. Its all about the fellow.
